So I may have solved my battery drain issue...Tips

Having tried everything listed in the 20+ topics on the subject (Screebl, Brightness, JuiceDefender, etc, etc) and still dealing with pretty awful battery life I was desperatly looking for something to help me make it though the day...

I was poking around in settings when I found a setting that seems to have really helped a lot.

The thing is if you are using a battery widget it will say the battery is at 100% when in fact its not. The last 10% takes 2-3 times as long as charging the first 90%, its well documented. This is why it jumps down so quickly to under 90% because when it was reading 100% it was in fact at 90%. What you did might have helped some, but not by as much as you think it might have.

Seems to be a setting that doesnt effect any updating of apps like facebook, weather, etc and allows all vmail, email, txt and calls to come in np.

Someone in that thread said they talked to a very knowledgeable CSR that said the setting is only for access to non-verizon towers that Verizon contracts the use of. I dunno really, i cant find any definitive answer on this from HTC or Android but it appears to be an HTC setting.

From all accounts it saves battery life and doesnt effect application..
